3. There’s more to life than relationships.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our significant other that we forget the countless other things that make life worthwhile. Your career, your friends, your family, the wonders of the universe around you, the list goes on and on!

4. Learn how to look after yourself.

Why would you ever want to be dependent on another human being? By being alone, you’ll learn how to be independent.

5. If you’re forever single, you’ll be okay.

What’s going to happen if you break up with the love of your life? If you haven’t spent time alone, you might think that your world has literally ended. But it hasn’t and your stint being single will let you know that.

6. Learn to believe in yourself.

Don’t let a man define you. By spending time alone you will recognize what a beautiful and competent human being you really are.
